This song reminds me of lust and obsession. Lzzy is singing with an amazing amount of emotion in this song. The lust is too strong but she knows that the feelings are not mutual. They broke up and went there seperate ways...but no matter what she cannot forget the euphoria she felt in the relationship...almost like a first real crush for a teenager but stronger...the end of the song is when she finally gives into it and stops fighting the battle that is inside between feeling and logic. Lzzy gives into emotion and decides that she wants anything and everything memory wise and feeling wise. She would rather abandon all reality and live in the dreamworld she once felt.... The song can also represent fans and feeling towards fans.....poison, the addiction of playing on stage....familiar, Lzzy has been doing this for a large portion of her life so she knows what it feels like and it is familiar..."familiar taste of poison"..she is well used to the addiction of playing on stage and the energy she feels from the crowd.....when fans send gifts or letters oor flowers it distracts Lzzy from song writing " drains her inspiration"...

At the end she doesn't care...she is too wrapped up in the whole picture of stage, fans, performing....she gives in and wants to keep going/.....

My Opinion

This song is amazing and full of, in my opinion, euphoria and pain. (sweet escape and poison)

I see this song as Lzzy falling in love with someone she knew would pain her, but still cant get enough of the pain/euphoria that comes with the relationship. She gets high off of this person and wants to be consumed by the effect he has on her. Almost like she knows shes going to get hurt but can't stop or help the way she has become wholly consumed by the entire situation.

Drink the wine, take your time, consume all of...
